Gilbert was also wanted for taking a pickup last week on Auburn Road and evading law enforcement during an area search. Gilbert was arrested for suspicion of two stolen vehicles and violation of parole. Valenzuela was taken into custody for one stolen car, driving without a license, and providing false identification by using another family member’s name.

Great work GVPD!!!!!!! My only hope is that some lame judge and shyster lawyer don't send them back to the streets. They could pick on the wrong victim next time and might not be a happy ending but would save the tax payers a lot of money.
